HITLER'S LAST BASTION: THE FINAL BATTLES FOR THE REICH 1944-1945
by Franz Kurowski
An account of the final stages of the Second World War
and the final apocalyptic battles for Koenigsberg, Breslau,
Wesel, Kolberg, Danzig, Posen and others. The author
describes the desperate resistance of German units enabling
the evacuation of thousands of their people, in the West the
crossing of the Rhine by Allied troops, the Remagen
bridgehead and the Ruhr pocket, and in the East the battles
for Pomerania, Silesia and Berlin itself.
A revealing study of this vast and
controversial battle fought by the US and Australian Navies
against the Japanese fleet off the Philippines, 23-26
October, 1944. MacArthur's landing on Leyte Island was
supported by massive Allied Naval forces commanded by
Admirals Halsey, Sprague and Kincaid. The attack by Japanese
Admirals Kurita, Ozawa and Nishimura was to lead to one of
the bloodiest naval battles of all time. The Japanese fleet
was decimated with 26 losses including the Heavy Carrier
'Zuikaku', 3 Light Carriers, 4 Heavy Cruisers and the
Battleships 'Fuso', 'Yamashiro' and 'Suzuya'.

OF THE ACES (MEN & LEGENDS):
FW 190 ACES ON THE ATTACK
by John Weal.
Editor-in-Chief Juan Ramon
Azaola
The FW 190 was the scourge of RAF Fighter Command from
the moment it appeared on the Western Front at Abbeville in
August 1941 with II./JG 26. A nimble, speedy and well armed
adversary, the 'Butcher Bird' quickly proved superior to all
Allied fighters at the time, particularly at medium to low
altitude. With colour profiles and artwork by John Weal and
Mike Chappell and scale drawings by Mark Styling, this
volume is a splendid data source for enthusiasts and
modellers.
